[BlueOnyx:12916] Re: Email question

[Drew Happli]

I run RoundCube (not on a BlueOnxy server though) and I have created
Folders within folders. In fact this week I created a folder under my
Fail2Ban folder for IP's that have been blocked, and another one for if
I have to restart Fail2Ban after making changes. 

I am using version
0.8.1, I haven't upgraded to .0.9.x yet.

one mail in one go in Roundcube using the standard install.

There's a reason behind it - mbox. The way it's stored on the server is
anything that contains mail is a file. So you have an inbox file, a sent
items file etc. Each of those is a load of messages stored in a single
file. Now if you make a new folder, you're making a new file which can
contain messages. So to create a sub folder you're infact trying to
create a file under a file - obviously in filesystem land this doesn't
work. Squirrelmail / some other mail clients can work around this by
calling the folder something else, I can't remember exactly what it is,
but it adds some sort of suffix/prefix to it (so you 'filing' folder is
called 'filing.folder' and the messages in a file called 'filing'.

talking nonsense, feel free to correct me!)
